Pakistan train crash carnage kills 128
GHOTKI, Pakistan: A crowded Pakistani passenger train rammed into another at a station yesterday and a third train then ploughed into the wreckage killing at least 128 people and injuring hundreds.
They offered their condolences to the victims' families, and expressed deep grief over the those killed in the accident. About 1,000 people were aboard each of the trains and many of the passengers were asleep at the time of the pre-dawn disaster. Railway officials said human error was to blame. Police and rescuers are still searching for bodies in the mangled remains of carriages. "I was sleeping. I woke up at the noise of a huge bang and then there was big jerk and smoke all over the place," said a distraught injured passenger, Mohammad Amin. "There was total darkness... I hit the floor and fainted," said Amin who was
desperately searching for his son.
